Little Sweet Potato

32 pp. | HarperCollins/Tegen | September, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-180439-7 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Noah Z. Jones. A sweet potato, lost and trying to get back home, rolls down the road looking for other vegetable and flower patches, trying to fit in. Told repeatedly he's lumpy and bumpy and doesn't belong, Little Sweet Potato finally finds acceptance at the "hodge-podge patch" (a garden). Illustrations with cartoony, googly-eyed veggies and flowers add humor, but the story is message-y.
